Saline County Baptist Convention Bulletin

Elder C. F. Moore was born in Franklin County, Tennessee, January 1, 1825. 
He married Miss Sarah Freeman, and moved to Saline County, Arkansas in 1847; 
his wife dies in 1881; on arch 3, 1862, he married Miss Eunice Emeline 
Blackwell, soon after this marriage he enlisted in the Confederate service; he 
was wounded and taken prisoner of war; while a prisoner at Alton, Ill., in 
1865, he professed faith in Christ; he was exchanged, returned home, and in 
1866 joined the Church of Christ at Fair Play; he was baptized by Elder John Y. 
Lindsey, and soon after he was licensed to preach; on February 21, 1869, he was 
ordained, the presbytery consisted of Elder R. M. Thrasher, and John C. 
Henderson; he was uneducated, yet he never failed to declare the truths of the 
gospel as it is in Christ our Lord; choosing rather to suffer persecutions than 
to deny the faith once delivered to the saints; he always endeavored to 
strengthen the brethren in the Lord and warning the sinners to flee the wrath 
to come.

Such was his last sermon. He died at his home, in Saline County, Arkansas, 
on the 11 day of September, A. d., 1889. 'Blessed are they that die in the 
Lord.'
